This Optibelt 966 D14M 85 is a double-sided timing belt from the HTD series. It measures 966 mm in length and is used where a drive needs synchronous power transmission from both sides of the belt.

Double-sided timing belts are common on reversing drives and on layouts where two shafts must turn in opposite directions from a single belt run. The teeth on both faces engage matching pulleys, so the belt can drive a pulley on the inside face and another on the outside face without slipping. This makes the 966 D14M 85 suitable for maintenance and engineering teams working on compact, timing-critical drives that cannot use a standard single-sided belt.

To confirm fit, read the marking on the back of the old belt and compare it with 966 D14M 85. Check that the profile matches the pulleys and that the 966 mm length matches the original belt. If the old belt is worn or the marking is unreadable, measure the length and note the tooth profile from the pulleys. Send the part number, the belt marking, or both to our team, and we will help confirm the right belt or suggest an equivalent.

When replacing a double-sided timing belt, inspect both pulley sets for worn teeth, debris in the grooves, and correct alignment. A belt that runs misaligned or at the wrong tension can wear quickly. If the drive uses more than one belt, replace them as a set so the load stays evenly distributed.
